When you mention golf in the Algarve most golfers will search Vilamoura golf breaks as the starting point for their planned visit to the Algarve. When we first visited The Algarve in 2000 the first view of Vilamoura was as the plane banked over the centre of Vilamoura dominated by the Tivoli Marina Hotel and then hugged the coastline as we descended into Faro Airport.

Vilamoura is a purpose built resort completed in 1974 and now merges into neighbouring Quarteira. It is situated at the centre of what is widely know as the Algarve’s Golden Triangle with Vale do Lobo to the east and finishes with Albufeira on the western side.

The resort of Vilamoura is dominated by the Marina which was awarded for the 2nd year running International Marina of the Year 2016 at the London Boat Show. With mooring spaces for over 800 vessels up to 60 metres long, numerous shops, bars and restaurants it is the perfect place for unwinding after a round of golf or providing plenty more activities for non golfers.
